Awesome Music / Klonoa: Door to Phantomile

Go To

  • The Inquisitive Waltz sounds just like something out of a real circus, and earns the title of "Awesome Music" simply because of how bright and joyful it is.
  • The jaunty, catchy Windmill Song captures Klonoa's childish innocence at the start of the adventure, while also establishing his perennial association with pan flutes.
  • Grandpa's Chair is a beautiful Nostalgic Music Box tune with a melody similar to the old song "My Grandfather's Clock".
  • Jugpot Falls. The sweeping strings create a lush atmosphere for the Water Kingdom!
  • Cursed Pamela utilizes elegant, watery synths and intense piano hits to create a distressing piece for the titular boss, who, unlike Rongo Lango beforehand, is an ally-turned-foe.
  • Joker Mood is Joka's catchy leitmotif, which makes excellent use of Freaky Electronic Music!
  • Forlock Twist is a rich tune with many sounds and instruments.
  • Blue Cave Echo is fast and frantic, but still beautiful.
  • Baladium's Drive is quite possibly one of the best boss themes ever. It's not just epic and fast-paced, it's beautiful and majestic, absolutely fitting for the closest thing this game has to a dragon.
  • Red Heat Coronia. With its catchy rhythm!
  • Nevertheless is a powerful, hymn-like tune that is absolutely fitting for the Sun Temple.
  • By the time you fight him, Joka wants you dead, and it shows in his boss themes. Presenting: Facade & Blade. "Facade" is an uncharacteristically focused dark circus music piece for the character, and "Blade" takes its predecessor and gives it a nightmarish choir and instrumentation.
  • Untamed Heart cements the game's tonal shift with its quiet, introspective melodies. Many regard it as one of the most beautiful songs in the soundtrack.
  • The Closing Encounter is perfect for the final level. The rapid bass notes and "thud" sounds create a tense mood, while the beautiful, sparkling melody is a constant reminder that you're at the gorgeously designed Moon Kingdom.
  • The Ring highlights Nahatomb's final phase, taking "The Instrumentality's" melody and making it much more frantic to match the monster's desperation.
  • Farewell, which plays during the game's Wham Line near the end of the game, is a slow, atmospheric melody that helps set in the Awful Truth about Klonoa.
  • Resurrection is an absolutely heartwrenching capstone for Klonoa's first adventure. The soft singing, piano keys, and violins do an excellent job representing the devastation Klonoa feels upon learning his life was a lie.
  • Staff Roll is such a simple, yet emotional piece. And the game's Bittersweet Ending makes it even more of a Tear Jerker.
  • The Tower of Balue is a catchy, extended take on Balue's theme. It's quite an uplifting tune for the game's Brutal Bonus Level, as if it is cordially inviting players to keep trying their best to complete the challenge.
  • The original Japanese commercials for Door to Phantomile has a short yet catchy jingle, perfectly capturing the game's adventurous and whimsical tone. The song was even brought back in advertisements for Phantasy Reverie Series with newer lyrics.
